                   FILE NO. 000-19415

Dear Mr. Krikorian:

I am submitting this letter in response to the written comments of the Staff
(the "Staff") of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") in a
letter to Mr. David Assia, Chairman of the Board of Magic Software Enterprises
Ltd. (the "Company"), dated August 6, 2007, with respect to the Company's annual
report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

In this letter, we have recited the comments from the Staff in bold type and
have followed each comment with the Company's responses.

     FORM 20-F FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006

     REPORT OF INDEPENDENCE REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM, PAGE F-2

     1.   THE AUDIT REPORT OF YOUR PRINCIPAL AUDITOR MAKES REFERENCE TO AND
          PLACE RELIANCE ON THE WORK OF OTHER AUDITORS WITH RESPECT TO THE AUDIT
          OF CERTAIN SUBSIDIARIES. HOWEVER, IT DOES NOT APPEAR YOU HAVE INCLUDED
          THE AUDIT REPORTS OF THE OTHER AUDITORS IN YOUR FORM 20-F. NOTE THAT
          RULE 2-05 OF REGULATION S-X REQUIRES YOU TO THE FILE THE SEPARATE
          REPORT(S) OF THE OTHER AUDITOR(S). THIS REQUIREMENT APPLIES TO ANNUAL
          REPORTS FORM 20-F. PLEASE REVISE YOUR FORM 20-F TO PROVIDE THE AUDIT
          REPORTS OF THE OTHER AUDITORS OR IDENTIFY WHERE THE AUDIT REPORT HAVE
          BEEN INCLUDED.

     Response: The Form 20-F has been revised to provide the audit reports of
     the other auditors.




     2.   WE NOTE THAT CERTAIN OF THE OTHER AUDITORS USED IN THE AUDIT OF YOUR
          FORM 20-F ARE NOT REGISTERED WITH THE PUBLIC COMPANY ACCOUNTING
          OVERSIGHT BOARD ("PCAOB"). PLEASE CLARIFY HOW YOU DETERMINED THAT
          THESE AUDITORS DID NOT PLAY A SUBSTANTIAL ROLE IN THE PREPARATION OF
          YOUR AUDIT REPORT; WE REFER YOU TO PCAOB RULE 2100. PLEASE NOTE THAT
          THE TERM SUBSTANTIAL HAS BEEN DEFINED IN PCAOB RULE 1001 (P)(ii).
          PLEASE TELL US THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF REVENUES AND ASSETS THAT HAVE BEEN
          AUDITED BY EACH FIRM THAT IS NOT REGISTERED WITH THE PCAOB.

     Response: The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the auditors that
     are not registered with the PCAOB and that were used in the audit of our
     Form 20-F, both:

     (1) do not perform services that our auditors, Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer
     uses or relies on in issuing all or part of their audit report with respect
     to our company, and

     (2) do not perform the majority of the audit procedures with respect to any
     subsidiary or component of our company, the assets or revenues of which
     constitute 20% or more of our consolidated assets or revenues.

     Accordingly, we concluded that these auditors did not play a substantial
     role in the preparation of the audit report, as defined in PCAOB Rule 1001
     (p)(ii).

     The table below details the assets as of December 31, 2005 and 2006 and
     revenues for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006 of the subsidiaries
     that have been audited by auditors that are not registered with the PCAOB:
